TurtleBot is a personal robot kit with open source software. It was created at Willow Garage by Melonee Wise and Tully Foote in November 2010.
TurtleBot 1 consists of an iRobot Create base, a 3000 mAh battery pack, a TurtleBot power board with gyro, a Kinect sensor, an Asus 1215N laptop with a dual core processor, and a hardware mounting kit attaching everything together and adding future sensors.
TurtleBot 2 packs powerful capabilities into one integrated system. At its core sits a YUJIN Kobuki mobile base, outfitted with a robust 2200 mAh battery for extended operation. Sensing comes from a versatile Kinect sensor, while an Asus 1215N laptop provides a dual core processor to handle computation. The included fast charger replenishes the system quickly between deployments.
Bringing everything together, a custom hardware mounting kit attaches the sensors, laptop, and battery securely to the Kobuki base. This unified assembly enables TurtleBot 2 to operate as a flexible mobile robotics research platform, ready to be customized with additional sensors as needed. The all-in-one design makes TurtleBot 2 a versatile starting point for prototyping and exploring cutting-edge robotics applications.
TurtleBot 3 has structural expansion capability due to ROBOTIS’ modular structure with the DYNAMIXEL.
TurtleBot 4 is using a iRobot Create3 robot as a base with a compute and sensor package consisting of a Raspberry PI 4, a Lidar and a RGB-D camera.
TurtleBot has been used in multi-robot research and human robot interaction research. [1] TurtleBot has also been used by universities teaching introductory robotics courses. [2] [3] [4]
